I can almost see me now
In Acapulco
I can almost feel the breeze
That makes the palm trees sway
 
The motion of the ocean
In the bottle
Says loving her is just
A sip away
 
I'm takin' me a whiskey trip
Lovin' her with every sip
I'm just like a sailin' ship
Waitin' for the winds to blow
 
Whiskey, you're a friend of mine
You can blow away my mind
To some other place and time
Takin' me a whiskey trip

(Instrumental Break)
 
I can almost see her now
Here beside me
I can almost smell the perfume
Drifting from her hair
 
And livin' with this feelin'
Of wanting her
One more drink and I know
I'll be there
 
Takin' me a whiskey trip
Lovin' her with every sip
I'm just like a sailin' ship
Waitin' for the winds to blow
 
Whiskey, you're a friend of mine
You can blow away my mind
To some other place and time
Takin' me a whiskey trip
 
Takin' me a whiskey trip
Lovin' her with every sip
I'm just like a sailin' ship
Waitin' for the winds to blow
 
Whiskey, you're a friend of mine
You can blow away my mind
To some other place and time
Takin' me a whiskey trip
